Hello. Some of you may have seen my post regarding a seized KT735 7000 series engine with 30 minutes on it. Well I was lucky enough to score a brand new KT short block on Facebook Marketplace for $100 and they were kind enough to ship it to me. I got everything switched up and installed tonight...

So I bought this 2023 Cub XT1 LT46 with .25 of an hour on it used from an older guy who said he was mowing and all of a sudden the engine came to a stop he opened the hood and saw oil all over the place. Said he had forgot to put the dipstick tube in all the way and it was coming out from there...

John Deere LA110. Briggs Intek OHV. Surging when cold for about 10 seconds then comes out of it. Fresh fuel. Cleaned carb. Checked intake gasket. Fuel solenoid works. Replaced carb. Still does it. Any thoughts? Tia.

Cub XT1. For some reason it cranks over fine but takes like 15 seconds to start. I adjusted choke to where it fully closes but no change. I cleaned carb, swapped carb, fresh gas. Plenty of fuel flow to carb. Fuel solenoid works. What am I missing? Tia.

Mower doesn't want to start back up without a fight. I took blower housing off and looked for linkage or vane issues and didn't see any. Where should I check next? Machine is a 2018 and only 55 hours. Ran great when parked last fall. TIA.

Hi guys! Asking for a friend. He has a Craftsman 917.272040 rider and just picked up a 40" 2 stage 48624839 for cheap and asked me if it would fit his machine and I have no idea. Cant find anything about fitment online but I did find the manuals for each but they dont help. TIA.

Nevermind. Was my fault.

Hi. Picked up an XT1 LT50 and it came with a snowblower attachment but the po said he thought it needed a gearbox. So I am assuming that it's a worn brass worm gear? I could be wrong. Never messed with one. But I guess the only way to tell is to put it on the tractor and see what happens, right...

Hello. So some if you know I swapped over guts from one block to another because of a broken connecting rod. New headgasket. Had to adjust valves because of no compression. Now have compression but its doing this. It was actually doing this before I adjusted valves as well. Its a 19.5hp in a...

Hey Guys, So some of you know I recently swapped a 25hp Courage in the place of a 22hp 7000 Series. Everything went fine and worked great. Today I washed it and went to move it and everything is dead. Checked fuse on top of battery and its blown. Put a new fuse in and it blew as soon as I...

SV730S I hear a knocking sound when cranking it over but it goes away when it fires up. Also it struggles to restart like it has a weak battery but battery has 12+ volts and still does it with my jump pack on it. Here is a short video. https://youtube.com/shorts/Cyl40VJZWbI?feature=share

Hey guys! Question. I am hoping to put a SV730 in the place of a blown KT 7000 Series 22hp in an XT1 LT46. Looks like it will fit other than the exhaust, which I already swapped the headers. The SV has a separate choke cable. If I use the linkage assembly off the newer KT, which will bolt right...

Hello, again. If no compression on either cylinder but pistons still move in and out, what does that mean? I see what looks like fresh sealant on both valve covers? What steps should I take next? Has 142 hours on it.

A head bolt snapped off when I was attempting to remove the head to do a headgasket and instead of drilling it out, I was going to transfer everything to another block. The one I have grenaded but looks fine other than this chipped off piece near the cylinder wall. Will it be ok or is the...

The rod is hooked up but when I push in parking brake and down on the set lever under steering wheel, the brake doesnt stay in and the lever wont stay down. I dont feel it trying to grab either. Thoughts?

Hello All! I got a 2016 LT46 with 53 hours. Mowed my yard with it, about 45 minutes, then transmission starts slowing down and losing power. Changed oil with Castrol 15w50 and does the same thing. How do I know if its a bad belt or bad transmission? Thanks!

2021 XT1 LT42e Electric riding mower. Model 33aba7es710. Getting an E108, E116, E525 code. When mower engaged while moving it comes to an a hard stop and turns off. I restart, start mowing a few feet and does it again. Doesnt seem to do it with mower deck disengaged. Also randomly get the e108...

Hi, again. Some of you know I was dealing with a cracked block. I finally got a good block and have it all together but I need to know how to set the governor arm before I tighten it. Thanks.

Hi. Its been awhile. So I made a mistake. I had a good running Courage with a cracked block so I bought a good block on ebay and when I got the old one torn down I realized that tge provision for the counterbalancer stabilzer wasnt in the new block. What are my options? Look for the right block...

Hello. Working on a LTH18538. The front tires are toed way out. I bought two new drag links as the old ones seemed to be worn, excessive play on ends. But that didnt help at all. Any suggestions?

Hello, again. I was given a real nice 2004 Yard Machine model 13ah650f752. I put in a new battery and it won't turn over. No clicking or anything. I get power to solenoid but no power out and also no power to the single wire to solenoid. So, it must be a safety switch issue, correct? I...

Part number 106-7007. Thanks.

I just picked up a Toro Timecutter 1742Z. Model 74350. Has the Kohler Courage SV540 18hp. Has very faint spark if any. I noticed someone has messed with the wiring and there is a black wire coming off the main engine plug just hanging freely. No idea where it goes. I swapped out a different...

18.5hp 31N707 3374 G1 101130ZD I made a video. Sounds baffley? Previous owner said it ran good when parked last fall. Started it a couple days ago and sounds like this. No oil leaks. Oil looks clean. No metallic clicking or ticking.... Thoughts? https://youtu.be/PRScYuCLk1Q

Looking for a crack free block. Dont need the sump or head. Shipping to 03809. Thanks.

Model: 441577 Code: 051013YH Type: 0113 E1 Does this mean the valves need to be adjusted or is it something more serious? https://youtu.be/KcOoUMzF8Pc Thanks in advance.

D170. 240 hours. Just purchased used. I noticed the tractor doesnt stop when I am on a hill when I let off the forward/reverse control. It stops with the brake pedal no problem. Also, with the trans disengage rod on the back, I can push the tractor forward and back with a little drag felt and...

FH661V-AS05-R. I replaced a coil with a new OEM one because a mouse chewed through the old one. I adjusted the gov. New NGK BR4ES plugs, new air filter, new fuel filter. Was running good for awhile and now it's running like crap. I can manipulate it with the choke. Runs better with choke...

FH661V-AS05-R. On a Cub Cadet RZT50. Picked it up last week. Ran but wasnt running right. Pulled engine cover, found typical nest, and found the left plug wire was eaten in half. Ordered new coil, plugs, and all the basic tune up stuff. Started it and runs great. BUT there is no throttle...

2011 RZT 50. Is the right side (when sitting on it) supposed to go up and down the same height as the left? I replaced a broken deck lift cable with the NPW deck lift bracket upgrades today. The only adjustment is on the left side and on the front. The one on the left just raises and lowers the...

Just picked up a Cub Cadet LTX1045 that doest run. Long story short, I removed valve cover and found the exhaust rocker arm was off the push rod. Pulled the rod out and it was straight. No damage. Put it back together. Tried adjusting both valves but its not firing up. I cleaned carb. New plug...

I have two 20hp SV600's that make this exact same kind of grinding noise at startup. What is it? One only has 4 hours on it. Also, this one pops out the exhaust once when I turn it off. That means it's running rich, right? What do I do? https://youtu.be/BgWd2-BS85I

SV600. Can I use black rtv on the valve cover INSTEAD of a new gasket like on Briggs engines or do I need to get a new gasket?

MODEL L100A. Working on a JD L100. Just replaced the camshaft now dealing with a brake/transaxle issue. The brake doesn't work and the tractor rolls freely when turned off and in gear and doesn't move when turned on and in gear. There is tension on the belt when parking brake is off. I see the...

Model: 31F707 Type: 0112E1 Code: 0301167E Ok, Ive adjusted the valves 10 times and same result. Turns over fine without the spark plug in it with the key, but put the plug back in and it only makes one revolution. I'm not sure what to do. I used the same youtube video I used when I did the...

Just picked up a Cub Cadet LTX1040 with a blown Courage. Looking around to see where it was leaking oil from and found this under the gas tank...

It's me again! Lol. So a couple months ago I bought a 2012 YTH21K46 with a grenaded 21hp Kohler Courage. I put it aside until I could find new motor. Yesterday, I found a 22hp Briggs Intek Vtwin removed from a John Deere and it got me wondering if it would fit. So I remembered I had a blown...

Picked up a John Deere GT235. Guy said motor was junk. Got it home and put jump pack on it and it started right up but was only running on one cylinder. Upon inspection, I realized it was missing the rockers and related hardware as well as the valve cover. Called the guy up and he said he lost...

Generally speaking...? 31 Series Intek. I'll post serial numbers when I get a chance. But was wondering if it's something a novice could tackle? I have good engine with broken head bolts and can buy a used empty block on eBay for $69 shipped...

Kohler Courage 21hp Twin Cam. JUNK. Took a Kohler Courage 21hp Twin Cam apart hoping I could fix it and this is what I found.

I just bought this YTH2248 with the CV675s 22hp Kohler. The previous owner had the choke linkage and cable all bent and messed up. I bent it back and rerouted the choke cable. The problem is that it doesn't seem like it's throttling up all the way with throttle at max and it stalls when...

Bought a Craftsman LT1000 with a 18.5hp Briggs Model 31H777 0202 E1, was running great until I changed the oil and filter. When I started it, it started blowing blue smoke out the exhaust. I used the recommended 10w30 and the oil lever is right on where it should be on the dipstick. What is...

I did a motor swap on a John Deere mower today. Has the 19.5hp Briggs OHV. So when I went to remove the second bolt, one closest to block, the dang thing snapped off! SO, I drilled it out, went to use an ez out and used so much force I thought the ez out was going to break. So I said screw it...

Lawn Boy Precision Z320H zero turn mower. Bought as project. Needed a starter. Replaced starter and fired right up after sitting for years. Didn't even smoke! Anyway, it wont shut off with the key. Is it a bad ignition switch? And its hard to believe it only takes 1.16 quarts of oil without a...

Any idea what a practically mint Toro Timecutter Z4220 Model 74363 42" Deck 21hp Kohler is worth? All tuned up, newer blades, and belts, ready to mow?

I got a Craftman LT2000 247.288851. Runs, looks, and mows like new. The tires still even still have the nubbies on them. But this thing is SOOOO FREAKING SLOWWWWW. Is there some kind of speed restrictor or something I can adjust? This thing does like 1 mph TOPS. Belts are in great shape...

2003 John Deere L2048. What does this sound like to you guys? I took the belt off the electric pto and its dead quite with it off, I believe how its supposed to be. I only feel a tiny little bit of play in one of the small idler pulleys. Everything else is nice and tight. Sounds electronic to...

Brand new battery and all connections are tight. Im thinking the starter motor is going bad... https://youtu.be/q3oUX0lH5aI

I have a JD L111 that has a 20hp Briggs Vtwin and has manual PTO. Its missing the deck and someone destroyed the wiring harness on it. Today, I bought a Scotts JD, with deck, that had the same motor but was removed and has electric pto. PO gave me the electric PTO with it. SO. is this a direct...

Ive read up on this and I know its either ignition switch, pto switch, rio switch, solenoid or brake switch. I ordered a new solenoid and ignition switch. Brake switch is still intact at the mount. New battery. Runs great if I jump the solenoid. They ignition switch does weird things...
